ABSTRACT
The number of students in a university is one of the basic indices of its development. The purpose of this paper is to determine the trends of development of students population in Kuwait University. Two models of trends are considered: the logistic curve as well as the straight line. The parameters of these models are calculated for individual faculties (colleges) and for the whole university. The values of mean-square errors of approximation real time series by means of logistic and linear function are provided. The results are summarized in tables and are presented graphically. Suggestions for future research are given.
